Biography
Edward Albert George Windsor was born on 6 March 1938 in Paris, France to Edward VIII, Duke of Windsor, and Wallis Simpson. His birth came as a surprise to the couple, as they did not plan on having any children. Rumors of the duchess conceiving the child through an affair soon spread, however these claims have since been debunked by historians.

Not wanting to deal with the burden of raising a child, his parents placed him under the care Simpson’s maternal aunt, Bessie Merryman (1864-1964). She became the young boy’s legal guardian and the two settled in Baltimore, Maryland.

Merryman was protective of Edward and was deeply concerned for his well-being. She frequently addressed him as Eddie Merryman in order to avoid any sort of publicity and followed him almost everywhere he went. Her serious nature and motherly instincts had a very strong influence on him.
